LYRIC FOR SALE

By DALE NICHOLS

First Verse

I’ve been livin’ my life
In the hope of second chances
I can’t hold onto a job
I’m on the ropes from failed romances

I’ve messed up so many times
The lame excuses, the lies, the lines
The evil spirits, the beer and wine
Inside of me

Well, the highway to hell
Is paved with good intentions
Of friends meaning well
With their attempted interventions

But a Phoenix cannot rise
From the ashes of its demise
Until the Son helps to open its eyes
To finally see

Chorus

Lord please shine down
Your lovin’ light on me
Come here and find me in this place
I pray to Thee
I need to feel Thy healing grace
Rise up from deep inside of me
Oh please dear Lord shine down
Your lovin’ light on me

Second Verse

This one deadly sin
It can leave your life in tatters
It can steal from within
All the joy from things that matter

A bad seed that starts to grow
It diminishes your inner glow
The Devil’s lurking there you know
For all to see

To turn it around
Takes faith and lots of courage
The journey is long
And you sometimes get discouraged

But if you open up your heart
The Lord will do His part
To give your life a fresh new start
And set you free

Chorus

Lord please shine down
Your lovin’ light on me
Come here and find me in this place
I pray to Thee
I need to feel Thy healing grace
Rise up from deep inside of me
Oh please dear Lord shine down
Your lovin’ light on me
